What could be more fun than a casual evening hanging out with other interesting women? Enjoy lively conversation with both old and new friends. Although our start time is 5:30ish, feel free to come at whatever time suits you.

It is -- by necessity -- kind of a long story. More important, I'd rather not make it really public here on the website, but anyone who wants to hear/read, let me know and I'll figure out how to send it individually.

I too would be interested in understanding what the story is. Not to be nosy but rather because I might learn something. You can send to [masked] if you want to. Again, this is because I feel understanding these types of situations can be good information.

All: Just FYI, I stopped by to see the management folk At 10 Water Street earlier today. They were very kind, and I imagine more than a bit relieved to find that I’m not litigious (not that I had any reason to be). I blamed it on the kale chips. ;-)

Well, I'm recovering and reasonably functional, but giving myself an easy day. Thanks to all for help, thoughts, support (literal and figurative), and even the wise-ass comments. For those who missed the fun, I have a narrative that shares the excitement, something I had to pull together to explain my down-day to the people who employ me. Anyone know if I can just attach it here (for those who might be bored or curious enough to read) by using the "upload" doohickey above?

Thanks Janet! Let me know when we can catch up, we'll have to do our own lunch! Just to let everyone know, when I left Catherine last evening her color was back and she was eating toast and PBJ! Please promise me our next gathering will be calmer

Catherine, glad to know things are looking OK. First of all, I don't want you and Bridget worrying about wasted wine. Jayne and I were going to order another glass to split, then we looked at the two glasses sitting there.........'Nuf said! I haven't actually figured the money piece out yet, but Bridget threw me a $20 as she left, Jayne chipped in some for the wine, I paid the check for the two of you and wrote down the numbers. I'll figure it out when I'm not so tired (and haven't been drinking wine!)

It's a good thing I didn't go...you all didn't need two of us needing assistance. I've been feeling 'weird' all day, and with the headache this afternoon, lightheadedness tonight...who knows what wine would have done!

Catherine, I hope you sleep well tonight and wake up feeling well and refreshed tomorrow!

Catherine wants to let everyone know she doing well and being taken care of at MCH. Going to run a few tests then hopefully be discharged. We're both bummed that we weren't able to finish our glasses of wine! Thanks to everyone who helped!!

Well, that was fun, wasn't it? First, thanks to all. If one is going to keel over, it's always best to do it in the company of seasoned healthcare professionals. I'm endlessly grateful.
The assessment so far indicates that I'm ok. Bridget called it: a perfect storm of activities that just added up to passing out. I expect to be home later tonight. Will post some other comments tomorrow, but for now: Crap.

Oh, and yes, Janet, nice EMTs. Sadly, neither was age appropriate, or I'd have asked for a phone number.

Wow, I missed quite the evening! That's something I would have done, LOL, flirt with the EMT's. I flirted with my doctors and nurses when in the hospital last year, haha. Not ONE of those handsome male nurses was single!

Great news Friends!! Just got an e-mail from Mandi and they will extend the wine special until 7 for our group. Just make sure you run your "tab" as a member of the Wednesday, Women & Wine group. Hope to see you all the 30th at our 1st WWW Wine Tasting. CHEERS!

So sorry to miss this as I really enjoy gathering with this awesome group! I am booked with a 90 minute massage and it is ALMOST as nice to provide a massage as it is to have a glass of wine with you all. Catch you at the next one.

Hi Friends!! I will not be able to attend this week-end WWW, as I'm off to Boston to see the Red Sox & Yankees! (Remember the bowling event we had that I missed, as I had to sit by the computer to secure tickets for son... this is it!) Anyway..... I finally heard back from Mandi, who's the Guest Services Manager at the Daniel (formally The Daniel Stone Inn). She has offered their regular Happy Hour Special for us (but it ends at 6 pm). I've sent off an e-mail, asking if she'd offer the $5 Wine for an extra hour, for those in our group, that might be late in arriving. If I hear back, I'll keep you posted.

Hi Friends!! Just got off the phone w/the GM Craig and he did confirm they have changed the name of the Restaurant / Bar to the Coast Bar & Bistro! And... they are planning to be open!! I'm meeting with him soon, to confirm what "Special" they are going to do for us. For now, please share the day & event and we'll plan on meeting up soon!! CHEERS! (Also, am working on a Wine Tasting for this group for the 5th Wednesday, as we discussed earlier. This just happens to be 4/30!! Stay tuned!!)

We're about:

We are women from Brunswick and the surrounding area. We range from 20's to 70's who are single, divorced, married, or in a relationship. Some with little kids, teenage kids, grown kids, grandkids, no kids. We have women in school, just out of school, some work, some don't, some retired, some wish they were retired.... We have people who have lived in Maine all of their lives, some have gone and come back and others are brand new to Maine. You get the picture. What we all have in common is the desire to create and maintain friendships with other women in the area. Our regular meetups include monthly lunch, book club and dinner. We are always happy to have others suggest events, host events and introduce others to our amazing group of women.
